The Story of Pearl Girl 珠帘玉幕 Episode 35

Zheng Zhiheng had been hiding in the firewood hut with Cui Shijiu for two days. He was starving. Zheng Zhiheng pawned his ring and secretly bought two buns for Cui Shijiu. When Cui Shijiu woke up, he didn't see Zheng Zhiheng by his side. He thought he had run away. Zheng Zhiheng gave the two buns he had just bought to Cui Shijiu.

Zhang Jinran heard the report from his subordinates. The Zheng family sent two sedan chairs overnight. He guessed that someone must have found Zhang Jinran and was ready to summon his men to arrest him. Unexpectedly, the people from the Dali Temple wanted to take Xu Nanying away overnight. Zhang Jinran stopped the people from the Dali Temple who took the token to openly take away the suspect. The other party openly took the token and said it was the emperor's intention. Zhang Jinran knew that he couldn't let Xu Nanying, the catfish, flow into the sea. He blocked the other party's way and ignored the danger. Just when the two sides were deadlocked, the emperor's edict came down. The current emperor openly supported Zhang Jinran's impartial investigation and ordered Xu Nanying to be tried on the spot. When the people from the Dali Temple heard the content of the edict, they naturally didn't dare to interfere anymore and had to leave in disgrace.

Zheng Zhiheng's father, Zheng Shiyuan, first found their hiding place, tied up Cui Shijiu, and then forced Zheng Zhiheng to follow him back. He also instigated Zheng Zhiheng to put all the charges on Cui Shijiu, so that he would still be the heir of the Zheng family jewelry store. Zheng Zhiheng loved Cui Shijiu deeply and never thought of hurting him, let alone letting her bear all the charges alone. Zheng Shiyuan wanted to kidnap him. Zheng Zhiheng took out a dagger from his clothes and injured his father, reminding him not to do anything to hurt Cui Shijiu. Zheng's father was very surprised. At this moment, a flying spear suddenly pierced Zheng Zhiheng's chest directly.

Zheng Shiyuan was stunned. After all, this was his only son. It was still difficult to accept that he died suddenly in front of him. Zheng Shiyuan quickly turned around and saw a man in black floating behind him. He finally understood who killed his son. Since Zheng Zhiheng liked Cui Shijiu so much, Zheng Shiyuan ordered his men to set fire to the thatched house and let Cui Shijiu and Zheng Zhiheng be buried together.

After Zheng Shiyuan left, Zheng Zhiheng woke up slowly with a breath hanging on his body. If Cui Shijiu was buried in the sea of ​​fire, he would die with his eyes wide open. He tried to remove the sharp blade on his body, but he had no strength at all, so he used his body to break free from the spear. Cui Shijiu's mouth was blocked, and she looked at Zheng Zhiheng in pain. Zheng Zhiheng cut the rope on Cui Shijiu with a knife and persuaded Cui Shijiu to run for his life.

A raging fire broke out around them. Cui Shijiu helped Zheng Zhiheng escape, but a roof beam fell down. Zheng Zhiheng used up his last breath to push Cui Shijiu to a safe place, and eventually died.

Zhang Jinran arrested Zheng Shiyuan and asked where the stolen goods came from. Zheng Shiyuan quickly pushed all the charges onto his son Zheng Zhiheng. Zhang Jinran asked his men to bring Cui Shijiu out to testify, but Cui Shijiu testified that what Zheng Shiyuan said was true and Zheng Zhiheng was no longer there. Cui Shijiu knew that he must also want his father to be safe.

After Zheng Shiyuan returned, he worried all the servants and offered a huge price, asking who could kill Duanwu and Yan Zijing and promised to reward them handsomely, but no one dared to step forward.
